add applications

mggfkd6s
Hi all,
I would like to install a set of applications (e.g. Apache, syslog-ng,
rddtools).
Therefore best would be if a standard distribution is already on these
boards. I already have experience with Debian on embedded ARM SBCs, there
it is easy to install addition stuff.

Which distribution is used on these boards?
How to install the mentioned applications, do I have to compile them?

Thanks
  Achim
